| - I am a big fan of the Hell's Kitchen so when I found out an actual restaurant was opening up, I was all over it. I figured dining at the actual restaurant would be the closest I get to being a diner on the show. Believe, I have been trying to get on the show for years. Gordon, please help me out! Lol
Our reservation was at 8, so we arrived a little early. Hell's Kitchen was popping as I expected. We were seated at a table in the center dining room in front the kitchen. I highly recommend that when you make a reservation, you ask to be seated in the area. It is part of the experience. Also, be aware that the noise level is high as well. Not really conducive for conversation, but part of the experience.
The menu is simple. Pretty much what was cooked on the show is cooked and served here. There is also a prix fix menu, but I recommend staying away from that. You don't get to experience all that Hell's Kitchen has to offer unless you order off the regular menu. Since there was 4 people in my party, that allowed for multiple things to be ordered and shared.
For starters, we ordered 2 lobster risottos, 1 steak tartare, 1 foie gras. For our mains, we had 2 Wellingtons, and two racks of lamb. Truth be told, probably the best meal of my life. I went in to this dining experience at Hell's Kitchen with no expectations and was blown away.
The detail that the wait staff and host staff puts into there work is incredible. The detail that is paid to just setting the table is incredible. I commend them for their hard work and dedication.
As a side note, getting to Hell's Kitchen is an adventure. Try to park at the main hotel valet....if you can. All I will tell you is the valet may be full, but cash is still king in Vegas. I think you know what I mean. Hell's Kitchen is a short walk from the main valet. It is right off The Strip as well.
I don't go to Vegas very often, but when I do, I am definitely going back to Hell's Kitchen.
